Guys and
girls,
In the interest of moving things forward, I'm going to
shortly start
working on the beta 2 release. There are still some issues
that we're
working through with the multi-container testsuite
configuration,
however with some help I've been able to resurrect the
existing tests in
Solder to run in the latest version of Arquillian and I'm
confident that
I can get the tests in the other modules passing
successfully without
too much trouble. I would still like us to press on with
the test suite
work, however I don't want it to hold up the release
schedule.
Since the Beta1 release there have been a couple of
important changes,
which I'll quickly summarise here:
1) seam-parent is now at the top of the food chain and no
longer
inherits its configuration from weld-parent. This change is
good for a
couple of reasons, first of all the disassociation from the
Weld project
will help to reinforce that Seam is CDI
implementation-independent.
Secondly it gives us total control over configuration for
the Maven
plugins that we use, allowing us to update the plugin
versions (which
I've already done, to the latest version of each plugin) and
fine tune
the plugin configuration parameters for Seam.
2) I've decided against moving the logging feature out of
Solder and
into its own module for now, as I discovered that it was too
tightly
coupled to Solder to "de-tangle" it easily. I have however
refactored
the logging API classes into their own package,
org.jboss.seam.logging
which I think will be more intuitive for our users. I
believe that the
Solder reference documentation still needs to be updated in
response to
the changes made for SOLDER-102
(http://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-102)
- Ken, could you please
confirm? If so, would you be willing to update the
reference docs to
reflect the logging changes?
I am aiming for the Beta2 release this coming weekend, which
means with
our 20+ modules now I need to get started pretty soon. If
anyone has
any spare cycles and is able to help out with this, it would
be greatly
appreciated. Each module needs to have its tests fixed,
logging
refactored to use the new logging API package, and its
distribution
thoroughly checked for correctness/completeness. If you'd
like to
volunteer for a module or two, please catch me on IRC and we
can work it
out there.
Thanks,
Shane
